1996 Sebring emissions issue
I am having an emissions problem with my 96 Chrysler Sebring. It has had 3 inspections and failed all three times, stating it is, "not ready". It isn't sending out any diagnosis codes and AutoZone diagnostic shows it should pass. Everyone is telling me to just drive it until the system resets itself. But I have put over 400 miles on it in the last 1 1/2 weeks. Gatewayis telling me that there is something in the motor that is preventing the system from resetting itself. Any ideas?[/align]

RE: 1996 Sebring emissions issue
THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN 18-18-97, DATED
MAY 9, 1997, WHICH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FILES. THIS IS A COMPLETE REVISION AND NO ASTERISKS HAVE BEEN USED TO HIGHLIGHT REVISIONS. THIS BULLETIN DOES NOT APPLY TO THE FJ PLATFORM. SUBJECT: OBDII Readiness Code Retention OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module. MODELS: 1995 - 1996 (JA) Cirrus/Stratus/Breeze 1996 (JX) Sebring Convertible 1996 (LH) Intrepid/Vision/Concorde/LHS 1996 (PL) Neon NOTE: THIS INFORMATION APPLIES TO FEDERAL EMISSION (SALES CODE NAA) AND CALIFORNIA EMISSION (SALES CODE NAE) MODELS BUILT PRIOR TO NOV. 21, 1995 (MDH1121XX) AND ALL 1995 JA MODELS EQUIPPED WITH A 2.0L ENGINE AND MANUAL TRANSAXLE. THE CALIFORNIA EMISSION MODELS ADDRESSED IN THIS BULLETIN WERE SOLD IN THE NORTHEAST STATES. CALIFORNIA MODELS SOLD IN CALIFORNIA WERE ADDRESSED WITH RECALL 678 DATED SEPT. 1996. DISCUSSION: The On Board Diagnostic (OBDII) system includes a monitor called readiness codes. The readiness codes indicate that all OBDII diagnostic tests have been performed and that diagnostic trouble codes (DTC's) can be read. It has been determined that the readiness codes may be cleared upon ignition key “OFF” cycles. Absence of readiness codes may cause owners to fail their emission inspection. To correct this condition, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) must be reprogrammed. |
Would this aply to the 97 also?
Would this aply to the 97 also. If so is something only the dealer can do?
